      OK, with input and pictures from Kingsley and Gerry I
      have posted notes and pictures of 2 trailers (not the
      Europa factory units) on a web page for viewing and
      comments.
      
      Both trailers are from builders who are sill working on
      their projects so the final fitting out of the trailers
      may not have been completed but should provide a
      platform for discussion.
      
      Anyone interested:
      
      www.dwiegand.dnsalias.com/trailer/
      
      
      As I get more details an pictures, including the
      factory supplied trailers, I will add them to the page
      (upon being granted permission, of course).

      Richard,
      I have mounted the antenna for my lllC GPS above the head-lining, between
      the doors and it performs perfectly. The lead on the standard antenna is
      long enough to run up the "A" post twixt screen and door!

      Hi Tony,
      
      I installed the Avelec, but I came to the conclusion that I made a big 
      mistake. It is very expensive, very time consuming to make the aluminum
      pieces (or more expense to have them made). I then found that it had
      a manufacturing fault as it had a slow leak where the tube enters the
      plastic block on top. When changing fuel you are supposed to recalibrate, 
      this involves emptying the whole tank (so take some buckets with you when 
      you go on a long trip). I believe everybody
      else is very happy with it.
      
      Regards,  Karl

      Karl,
      Thanks for your advice. I am more tempted to keep with the Lyndhurst one, sold
      through Europa. It gives me a volumetric level indication, irrespective of
      whether it is water or fuel.

      Bad joke really, regarding the water.;-)

      While I'm a long way from needing a trailer, I have been giving it some 
      thought. My plan is to use a commercially available covered trailer. (For 
      those on this side of the pond think Wells Cargo, Haulmark, Pace, etc.) 
      Drawing from sailplane trailer technology, I'm planning to fabricate two 
      "dollies" that will run in tracks along the outer side walls from the front 
      to the rear of the trailer. These dollies will be made out of 1" square steel 
      and will use roller blade wheels set in aluminum "C" channel mounted to the 
      floor. The spar tangs of the wings will pin into the the dolly, LE down, and 
      support one end of the wing. When de-rigged, the wings will easily roll into 
      the trailer and the opposite end of the wing will fit into a padded saddle 
      secured to the side wall and floor. Once the wings are in, the fuselage will 
      roll in between the wings and will secure to the floor with straps. Rigging 
      would be the opposite, rolling out the fuselage first, then each wing in 
      turn. 
      
      This sort of arrangement has been used on sailplane trailers for decades and 
      works very well. Sailplane guys who have trailers rigged like this generally 
      don't take more than 10 minutes to rig/de-rig. A tri-pod wing stand is used 
      to support the airplane when one wing is removed. The beauty of this type 
      trailer is they're commercially available, equipped with ramp type doors 
      hinged at the bottom, offer security from vandals and the weather and plenty 
      of storage for other goodies you might need (gas, oil, tools, etc). Only 
      minor modifications will be needed to make it work.

      John,
                  You invited comments, so made it a net reply.....
                  I have a standard Europa open trailer, but am contemplating an
      enclosed one eventually (4005). It occurred to me that with various mods
      being suggested, that the enclosed trailer might incorporate a "saddle"
      which rotates/swivels and captures each wingtip in turn. This facility might
      permit singlehanded 'winging' and 'de-winging', being integral rather than
      an extra device. Details foggy in future mists, but it's an
      idea..............

      --> Europa-List message posted by: TELEDYNMCS@aol.com
      
      Greetings all,
      
      I was doing some planning regarding routing of wires yesterday, particularly 
      in the area where the installation of my main gear (tri) will be, and I 
      noticed that the manual flow chart shows the main gear leg installation takes 
      place after the top half of the fuselage has been bonded on. Is there a 
      reason for this sequence? It seems to me the main gear installation would be 
      much easier before the top is installed, given the obvious access issues for 
      where all the work takes place.

      We had a guy come through our field (sailplane guy) last spring with a very 
      neat wing stand that captured the wing by the LE and TE, pivoted the wing 
      from the horizontal to the vertical, and had wheels on it so the wing could 
      be rolled over to the trailer. Instead of the "normal" tri-pod arrangement of 
      most sailplane wing stands, this one had two wheels and a leg that folded, in 
      addition to the "wing capture" device. This enabled the wing to be moved 
      around easily by one person. Basically, the stand captures the wing by the LE 
      and the TE in a padded clamping mechanism. The clamp was a simple threaded 
      rod with padded cups conforming the contour of the LE and TE welded to 
      brackets that slide up and down on the threaded rod. An oversized wing nut is 
      used to tighten the clamp holding the wing to the stand The folding leg is 
      then retracted and the wing is rotated into the vertical, LE down. This is 
      done with a single bolt as a pivot. The wing could then be wheeled over to 
      the trailer and pinned into the wing dolly in the trailer. The wheeled stand 
      is then removed and the wing is stowed in the trailer in the manner I 
      described in my last post.
      
      This was the slickest way of single handing a wing I've ever seen. The guy 
      that had this was able to single hand a wing for a 2 place glass ship with 
      ease, easily twice the weight of a Europa wing. I think the stand is 
      commercially available. The Europa is so sailplane like in the way it sets up 
      it lends itself well to the gizmo's those guys already have figured out. I'll 
      see if I can dig up some more info, pic's. etc.

      Roger Anderson made some suggestions pertaining to
      one-person operations.  Roger can you supply some
      pictures of the spar socket, wing-tip trolley and other
      items?
      
      I too plan on one-person operation and would like to
      hear/see solutions.
      
      The only suggestion I would have (and was already
      thinking of using) for the wing cradle straps, is some
      real sheepskin covers for the straps (like a Morgan +4
      bonnet stay) to provide cushion and buffing action if
      jostled slightly.  Should be able to find small amounts
      of it for a reasonable cost.

      --> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" <RobH@hyperion-ef.com>
      
      Main gear installation is the most tedious and frustrating part of the
      entire project -  working inside the aft end of the tail cone is easy by
      comparison.  Although you are correct that it would be easier were the top
      not in place, what really makes the job awkward is the elevation of the
      fuselage above the floor, something dictated by the alignment scheme that
      makes sure that the aircraft runs true on the ground, and the fact that you
      must do all lf the "wet work" from outside the fuselage (climb inside and
      you will alter the alignment unless you have a fantastically rigid jig
      supporting the fuselage).  That is the case whether the top is in place of
      not.
      
      Wheel alignment may not remain true (unchanged) after the top is bonded in
      place, and that is a risk that I would not take, especially for little gain
      in the ease of assembly.

      Greetings all,
      
      I was doing some planning regarding routing of wires yesterday, particularly
      in the area where the installation of my main gear (tri) will be, and I
      noticed that the manual flow chart shows the main gear leg installation
      takes
      place after the top half of the fuselage has been bonded on. Is there a
      reason for this sequence? It seems to me the main gear installation would be
      much easier before the top is installed, given the obvious access issues for
      where all the work takes place.

      Hi all;
      
      This weekend I'll be going to look at a mono wheel trailer with a welder friend
      of mine.  Once the parts list is completed he'll be able to come up with pricing.
      I expect him to start building the trailer next week.
      
      If anyone is interested and wants a price email me off line and I'll hook you up-
      by the way... I'm not going to make a dime off this... just helping a low priced,
      unemployed welder get some work and of course get an inexpensive trailer
      for me and others that want one.  Trailers will be built in the San Fernando
      Valley... suburb of Los Angeles.
      
      Paul Boulet, A212

      Avelec says the dielectric constants of unleaded motor fuels vary with brand
      (which seems plausible, and I don't suppose the brew for any given brand is
      constant for all time, either).
      
      So, IF you are looking for accuracy you should recalibrate any capacitance gauge
      when changing fuel, not just the Avelec one  -  always presuming the one you
      have is accurate in the oddly-shaped Europa tank and that it offers sufficient
      resolution to show any difference.
      
      In practice, I don't suppose it makes any noticeable difference.  Anyone already
      flying care to comment ?
      
      The Avelec gauge is expensive, for sure, but it offers different features.

      Hi! John.
      I have a similar but sounds more simple type of wing trolly that you
      describe and can rig my A/C on my own and with the aid of an electric winch
      stow the fuselage  in the covered trailer between the wings on my own too.
      I've looked at the web page you recommended and the principle is the same
      but my wing is completely surrounded by a carpet covered clamp which has a
      pivot on the underside of the wing and the wheels can be dropped off with a
      socket arrangement. The pivoting leg stays with the clamp and is therefore
      stowed permanently on the port wing since it is the first to rig and last to
      derig.( Only the wheels to stow separately)
      If I had my time over, the position of the pivot would be nearer to the c of
      g of the wing but it is useable as it is. If you need some dimensions let me
      know. The trailer is to be seen on the photoshare pages.

      ................wing is rotated into the vertical, LE down. This is
      done with a single bolt as a pivot. The wing could then be wheeled over to
      the trailer and pinned into the wing dolly in the trailer. The wheeled stand
      is then removed and the wing is stowed in the trailer in the manner I
      described in my last post.
      
      This was the slickest way of single handing a wing I've ever seen. The guy
      that had this was able to single hand a wing for a 2 place glass ship with
      ease, easily twice the weight of a Europa wing. I think the stand is
      commercially available. The Europa is so sailplane like in the way it sets
      up
      it lends itself well to the gizmo's those guys already have figured out.
      I'll
      see if I can dig up some more info, pic's. etc.

      Rowland et al,
                  With regard to radio problems, it is probable that 90% of tye
      difficulties lie with the installation, as most commercial rigs are
      basically faultless out of the factory. Most of this is unfortunately
      builder-induced (as a statistic) - presuming the system parallels amateur
      radio experience over the years......
                  I hesitate to repeat this offer for someone else's services, but
      the AR group are most similar to ours - helpful, experienced and curious. If
      UK hams are at all like our bunch, you will more than likely stumble across
      a useful and curious ham at your local radio club - the address/contact
      available through the RSGB, Radio Society of Great Britain. The
      'pres.'/contact person will usually know a seasoned 'oldtimer' who will
      offer to measure the variables in your antenna system for faults - the
      greatest probability. Since ham services cannot be charged ('amateur' means
      'non-commerce' but not unprofessional) his interest in your project and
      satisfaction is his/her reward. Try it, you may like it.
                  Then if nothing untoward is found, you can empty your pockets
      with the field rep..........
      E&OE.....

      Hey Ralph, Are you gonna park your long wing thing at home? Do you figure an
      enclosed trailer is what you need, or would an open design work for you? The
      long wings are gonna start flying soon and I am curious what their builders
      are planning. The first, Dave Andersons, has a big hanger that it looks very
      happy in. I will not have that as an option. Long wings won't fit in most
      garages, so a glider trailer design will probably be popular. That will not
      be cheap.

      I asked the factory about this and was advised that it was OK to install the
      main gear before bonding the top on. I set everything up with the top
      clecoed in place then removed it to do the layups.  I agree that it is one
      of the messiest jobs on the entire build.

      Greetings all,
      
      I was doing some planning regarding routing of wires yesterday, particularly
      in the area where the installation of my main gear (tri) will be, and I
      noticed that the manual flow chart shows the main gear leg installation
      takes
      place after the top half of the fuselage has been bonded on. Is there a
      reason for this sequence? It seems to me the main gear installation would be
      much easier before the top is installed, given the obvious access issues for
      where all the work takes place.
      
      Comments?

      Roger can you supply some pictures of the spar socket, wing-tip trolley and
      other items?
      
      Dean,
          I'm afraid I can't oblige with any pictures as none of the ones I have
      show the details which you are interested in, and I don't have a digital
      camera (yet!).
      
       The only suggestion I would have (and was already thinking of using) for
      the wing cradle straps, is some real sheepskin covers for the straps (like a
      Morgan +4 bonnet stay) to provide cushion and buffing action if jostled
      slightly.
      
      If they work on a Morgan bonnet they should be O.K. for the wings, but
      anything which retains moisture or fine grit should be avoided. I shall be
      interested to hear how satisfactory they are in use.
          Kind regards,
              Roger.

      One thing I forgot to mention was that it is well worth having the steel
      bits galvanised. I took my trailer apart and had this done for about 70.00
      GBP

      Hi John,
      Here at Flight Crafters we have installed quite a number of tri gear legs
      with all of them before the tops are bonded on.  We do not put the tops on
      until everthing and I mean everything including a flange for the baggage
      bulkhead plus all antennas and counter balance flanges.  We do not crawl
      into the back of this thing.  For some of us would need a crane to pull us
      out if we get in there. The front side of the baggage bulkhead can be
      reached for taping.

      Europa Lakeland set the Builder Dinner date so we would not have a conflict.
      Since their dinner is on Friday the 4th, we will have our barbecue on
      Thursday April 3rd between 4 and 8pm.

      I never got anything written on this subject. I have to use common sense 
      judgment which was 50% successful. I made one too long and had to shorten it.

      > Hi all;
      >
      > This weekend I'll be going to look at a mono wheel trailer with a welder
      friend of mine.  Once the parts list is completed he'll be able to come up
      with pricing.  I expect him to start building the trailer next week.
      >
      > If anyone is interested and wants a price email me off line and I'll hook
      you up- by the way... I'm not going to make a dime off this... just helping
      a low priced, unemployed welder get some work and of course get an
      inexpensive trailer for me and others that want one.  Trailers will be built
      in the San Fernando Valley... suburb of Los Angeles.
